Abstract

The present study was carried out to investigate the efficacy of microbial antagonist’s bio-agents, de oiled cakes and fungicides under in vitro study against Fusarium oxysporum Schlecht caused wilt of Isabgol. Study results revealed that among all fungicides Bavistin 50WP recorded maximum inhibition percent of mycelium growth of test pathogen Fusarium oxysporum Schlecht at all four concentrations followed by Nativo-75WP. All fungicides were tested by poisoned food technique. Out of four bio-control agents Trichodrma viride showed highest mycelia growth inhibition (59.64%) followed by T. harzianum (58.25%). Among four de oiled cake neem cake showed highest mycelia growth inhibition (67.78%) followed by Groundnut cake (53.33%) found highly effective to control the mycelia growth of Fusarium oxysporum Schlecht. Application of bio control agents and de oiled cake will be an alternative to synthetic chemicals to control wilt of isabgol.

Bio-control agents, Carbendazim 50 WP, De oiled cakes, Fusarium oxysporum Schlecht, Isabgol

Conclusion

From the findings it is concluded by in vitro study application of bio control agents and de oiled cake will be significantly promising and applicable as an alternative to synthetic chemicals and low efficiency and harmful methods for control of Fusarium wilt disease of Isabgol caused by Fusarium oxysporum Schlecht. Microorganisms that have fast growth in the rhizosphere are best for antagonism of pathogen.
